Drizzle Client Errors

=====================
3

Various errors can occur when trying to use the Drizzle command line clients,
5
 
this is a list of some of these and how to deal with them:

Old Password Error
10
 
------------------
11

::
13
 
 
14
 
   drizzle_state_handshake_result_read:old insecure authentication mechanism not supported
15
 
 
16
 
This error happens because the Drizzle client is trying to connect to a MySQL
17
 
server which has the password stored in the Old Password (or pre-MySQL-4.1)
18
 
format.  This is typically seen when connecting to a stock RedHat or CentOS
19
 
MySQL installation.
20
 
 
21
 
To resolve this, look for the old-passwords option in your MySQL configuration
22
 
and disable it.  Then update the password for the user you are trying to connect
23
 
with using the ``SET PASSWORD`` syntax so that it can be re-recorded in the
24
 
newer password format.
